CD-ROM and Floppy Drive Installation
The top cover of the chassis must be opened to gain full access to the CD-ROM
and fl oppy drive bays. The 5025M-4+/5025M-i+ accomodates only slim CD-ROM
drives. Side mounting brakets are typically needed to mount a CD-ROM drive in
the 5025M-4+/5025M-i+ server.
First, release the retention screws that secure the server unit to the rack. Grasp
the two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it locks (you will
hear a "click"). Next, depress the two buttons on the top of the chassis to release
the top cover and at the same time, push the cover away from you until it stops.
You can then lift the top cover from the chassis to gain full access to the inside of
the server. You must power down the system before installing or removing fl oppy
or IDE components.
Drives mount on rails and should "click" into place to be correctly and fully installed
in their bays.
• The fl oppy disk drive cable has seven twisted wires.
• A color mark on a cable typically designates the location of pin 1.
• A single fl oppy disk drive ribbon cable has 34 wires and two connectors to provide
for two fl oppy disk drives. The connector with twisted wires always connects to
drive A, and the connector that does not have twisted wires always connects to
drive B.
2. Installing/removing a 5.25" drive bay component
A single 5.25" IDE drive bay is located in the front of the chassis, making it eas-
ily accessible for installation and removal. This component is not hot-swappable,
meaning system power must be turned off before installing and/or removing them.
To remove the drive carrier, fi rst power down the system and then remove the top
cover of the chassis. Unscrew the retention screw at the top center of the drive,
then push the drive carrier out from the back until you can grasp and pull it out
through the front of the chassis. Attach the component to the carrier if installing.
Then reverse the drive carrier removal procedure to install the drive, making sure
you screw in the retention screw. Replace the top cover when fi nished.
